Subject: Were the Brutes still quite powerful during Reach?

I haven't read any of the books, but I have played every Halo game up to date. While playing Reach I noticed Brutes were leading Hunters, grunts and jakals, with no Elites in sight. I thought that until Halo 2, brutes were about the same rank as grunts. Am I right, or am I dumbd?

I enjoy halo for it's story and when I am in the mood, its gameplay. Reach was significantly worse then I expected but was still a great game (minus the european hitscan fiasco). I am sitting on a two mile wide fence on the subject of halo 4. Most of the things I like a technical aspects though and not story or game play. Plus I am slightly mad they took my elites from MP.

slightly better than grunts, more like Kig-yar or drones if memory serves corectly though more of a leadership capacity and if you're talking about new alexandria and exodus missions then connonly they are used correctly as brutes are civilian kill teams, elites sometimes took part in this venture but mostly there honour rules confind them to glassing civilians, brutes had no honour rules

There are no civilians in New Alexandria, yet they command Drones, Grunts, Jakals, Engineers, Hunters and skirmishers.

technicly there are but they are not a high enough priority for you to get invovlved with (spartan= super soldier civilian=nothing, millions already dead)

dont belive there were civilians look what happened during hurricane catrina, people thought it was certain death to stay and yet others stayed similair thing with reach its called human psychology i.e. the disposision to not beleive credable sources on a highly dangerous course of action because you have not experienced it yourself

New Alexandria is the city that you play on in Exodus.

Only elites outrank hunters, and hunter sometimes even outrank them. Just because they were fighting together does not mean the brutes were leading them.
